Ok so i bought this SkyJacker 6.5" lift on craigslist i got the coils,shocks,
3" blocks for the back, and 3.5" shackles for the back.is there anything else i would need?
This is a lift for a Jeep Cherokee XJ

Also another thing, I really don't know how to install a lift kit and the guy didn't give any instructions on how to do it.

If anyone out there knows how to do this please message me back i would really appreciate it and you would save the day for me

Slip Yoke Eliminator replaces the splined shaft that comes out of your stock Transfer case, and replaces it with a U-joint yoke. You will need to replace your driveshaft as well, with a two piece sliding shaft with a double cardan unit on the front.

Well it already has a lift on it but i want to take it all off and then just start from there.

oh and yeah im getting a t-case drop from the guy.
so i wont need all that other stuff that denton told me will I? if i'm getting a t-case drop?

Pardon my mistake, I meant new "leaf" packs for the back.

What kind of a lift do you have on it now? Do you have newer lower control arms or are you running just stock with bigger coils?

T-Case drops are usually a cheap way of avoiding the need for a modified drive shaft. I run a dropped case on my 3" lift and go wheelin'. Nothing wrong with it, but if you're really doing hard hard stuff, you're trying to maximize ground clearance. For lift's 4.5" and up, you should really be looking at SYE's.

Take a look at other lift kits on the market. You may have bought pieces, but you can always buy separate parts to finish said lift.

With a 6" lift I think you really need a sye if you plan on wheelin it. The reason is to keep your rear drive shaft from fallin out on the trail. Trust me putting the drive shaft back in when your in a mud hole is NOT much fun.
good luck

Your rear drive shaft will not fall out if you do not have an sye with that lift. One of our xjs has a 6.5 inch lift with stock control arms and no sye. You also do not absolutely need quick disco's. None of our jeeps have sway bars and all but one get daily driven. Before you jump in and buy everything people are suggesting, do some reading, I am sure there is all kinds of info in the jeep tech section...

if you are gonna wheel it and twist it up i would get a sye kit because more than likely your driveshaft will be on the ground

come wheel with us, try to keep up and let me know if our drive shaft ever falls out

I agree with you that you dont need an SYE. I have a 98 xj with a 6.5" Rustys lift and no SYE. Ive completely flexed it out and never had any issues with the driveshaft. And i dont have any vibrations either.

so you're saying pretty much it'll work without having to get anything? well i mean wont i just need to get drop brackets and extended brakelines??

x3......I would have to agree, I run an 8" lift on mine with only a 1" t-case drop and factory drive shaft......I may not wheel the hardest out there but I have fun pushing my heep as far as I dare and the last thing I really worry about is my rear drive shaft failing. the d30 is what i worry about oh yeah and the snap of 8.25 axle shafts

so you're saying pretty much it'll work without having to get anything? well i mean wont i just need to get drop brackets and extended brakelines??

Yes you need to drop the tcase and you can either relocate the breaklines or if that dont work you can get the extended brakelines... What I am saying is that you dont have to have an sye. They are nice but not an absolute...

stock yj brake hoses on the calipers on the front work great, and they are available at any parts store if for some reason you wreck one. I put those on and straigtened the hard line, (mostly because my front droops way out) and at static hieght with wheels turned to full lock either way, have plent of slack for flex

Ok jeepnxj96 and kareless just to make things straight, i don't need to get like a new trac. bar, control arms, sway bars,and so on? all i need is extended brakelines or just longer lines, and then a T-Case drop? and i found out i am getting a T-Case drop from this guy. So all i need is the extended brake lines and ill be good? If so what is the caster? going to be like?
